CC...I didn't think Tropical Sunset was Variegated unless there is another type out there.

Brugcrazy,
I'll check tomorrow and see if there is any difference between P&C and Maya leaves....I do know my Maya leaves are very large.
Is Maya a faster grower than P&C? I want to get a variegated one in the spring but I remember someone saying P&C was a slow grower. I need a fast grower for this part of the country.
Snow, it was for me. the funny thing was the new growth started fast and then slowed down. i rooted several, had to cut one back to get it in the mail, sent them all out. brugs are supposed to be fast! i have heard, and i know CC says maya is much faster....
Thanks Arlene, I'll keep that in mind.
Both pics are great!

I had no problems growing either one but like Arlene a friend of mine here has had nothing but trouble with her's. I do find the P&C a little hard to root....they tend to rot.

Brugcrazy,
Just went and checked the difference between the leaves of the Maya and P&C...just like you said....the Maya has fuzzier leaves and thicker...my Maya hasn't bloomed yet either.

Jodie,
There is Peaches and Cream, Vericolor Peach and I'm sure more that I can't think of right now...someone help...having a SR. moment.LOL
like I said before,,,what do I know......According to the Select Seeds catalog I just got toda
Brug Charles Grimaldi > they say is a "fine rich apricot"can have hundreds of blooms at once>. (REALLY???)
mingsmimi, i don't think CG has a fine rich apricot color.
thats just a quote from their magazine. Like I said. I have no idea. Thats just what they say.You have one? Or have seen one?Go to www.selectseeds.com and see what they say.
if you go to their website, under"search;'write in Brugmansia, its the first photo that comes up and that is what they claimand there is a photo also.
Glory,
Thanks for the hyperlinks. I left Friday morning to go visit my grandson (3 yrs old) and just got back today. Trying to catch up on all the emails and postings here. I feel like I am lost.
When I look at my P&C's, I have 3 and got them from 3 different places, 2 look just alike, leaves anyway since they are babies, and the 3rd one is different, all 3 are variegated, 2 are green and almost yellow white leaves the other is green and white/cream colored. Now Earl from Valleygrow said that some people call it Tropical Sunset, but I had only heard it called P&C. I bought one from Glasshouse works and they had it labeled "Brugmansia Sunset". They are all supposed to have peachy colored flowers. Is there another variegated one. I thought that I had seen somewhere that there is a variegated white. If so what is it called. Guess I will have to wait and see what color it blooms. I must say though that the green on these look more like yours than the Maya. Thanks for the help though
